The Nintendo DS is 20 years old!
To celebrate, I put together a retrospective to analyse how Nintendo’s strategy led to the DS’ success, changed Nintendo as a company and whether or not it could work with Switch 2

the language in the movie is so specific. AI subtitles are maybe the single least effective development; old school Google Translate subs were more insight. A desecration of art imo
Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s dialogue is so literary and written in such a precise way. he cares deeply about language, but people are now gonna watch All of a Sudden with AI subtitles, and it’s just sad to me. i’m okay with waiting much longer.

VILLAGE IN THE SHADE is one of my favourite games of the year, using the cosy genre to make us question polite society
Give it a read!

REVIEW: VILLAGE IN THE SHADE is one of my favourite games of the year
It works as a cosy farming sim, but introduces a splash of horror that makes us question what we sweep under the rug in polite society

re: Ebert occasionally "missing" on a great movie, I think people forget that the point of criticizing art is not to be "correct," it's to engage with the work sincerely; a critic should be evaluated less on "correctness" and more the consistency/depth of their work
